It does. You can label DJ Sammy as Epic House, Lasgo as epic trance, Vengaboys as happy house (which I need to add)...
Some of you may argue Lasgo is not epic trance. Well, you still have a massive amount of detuned saw-waves (in the case of Lasgo and Epic Trance, for example), female vocals (which is facultative), build-ups... characteristics that, epic trance shares with good old eurodance (and other similar genres)... keep in mind that progressive trance was responsible, like I said in another thread, for the houseification of trance, reason why epic trance can sound so similar to old eurodance at times.
This is actually a good think, because eurodance was fun. The quality of the recent "cheese" is a shame, though :( |

hmm.. surely Trance is a genre of its own, and not a sub genre of 'Progressive' or 'Acid Trance'?

| although the first post is very old, the guy worked a whole bunch on this map. Show the man alittle respect ffs :whip: make contructive comments instead of just bashing the whole idea. You could make it all alittle "wider" between the genres, so it doesn`t get so messy, other than that, good map! |

Anyone experienced and kind to name out songs of different sub-genres based on THIS map?
edit: oops, didnt realise lira started another thread on naming tunes. please do it in http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=175082 |
:p
Hint: Check Ishkur's guide (its link was posted several times in both threads, or you can visit the actual website for more tunes :))

Yes, trance is a genre of its own: the "red" line represents it and its sub-genres :)
I've got to add this explanation somewhere in the map, I know :D

hehe, thanks :)
It will actually be wider, as I realised I've got no room for updates anymore :p Probably it may even be chopped into smaller bits, if really needed (althouhg I'd rather keep it just as one piece).

Sorry for the re-bump, but I didn't want anyone's question to be left un-answered :) |

Because uplifting is a subjective definition (a tune can be uplifting to one person but depressing to someone else). The "uplifting tunes" you're talking about will be under epic and anthem trance :) |

There is no such thing as "buttrock". It's just Goa / Psy trance with guitars. And are you absolutely sure that psy trance is a subgenre of Goa? Last time I checked people were arguing whether they were two different genres or just the same thing...
And where on that map would you put swedish tribal techno? :wtf: |

This "buttrock" thing, as far as I've experienced/read/been told, is nothing but a way to describe what we would call booty ballad rock. You can read explanations and definitions on this genre when you google it. However, for some reason, I often see this word being used for unusual rock (like rock'n'roll being played with shamisens and stuff of this sort). In this context, it fits the description of the map. I may, depending on my researches, change its name to metal goa: but I really wouldn't like to drop it from the guide.
As for swedish techno, because of the way techno's been evolving in the last years, it's become a regional thing more than other genres (you get swedish techno, german techno, italo-techno, j-tech... all genres with subtle differences between one another), reason why I'm gonna add a "regional techno" and explain the most important ones (unless I find a more accurate way of sorting the genres). |
